Pipe lining material, cured product of pipe lining material, and method for manufacturing the cured product of pipe lining material
[0001] The present invention relates to a pipe lining material, a cured product of the pipe lining material, and a method for producing the cured product of the pipe lining material.
[0002] In recent years, deterioration of existing underground pipes, such as water pipes, sewer pipes, and electric power pipes, has become increasingly serious, and various methods for repairing these pipes have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method for repairing existing pipes using a photocuring method, which includes a curing step of adhering a tubular lining material to the inner wall surface of the existing underground pipe, supplying compressed air to the inside of the lining material, and irradiating the inner surface of the lining material with light using a mobile light irradiation device installed inside the lining material to cure the lining material. Patent Document 1 also describes that the lining material can be a material obtained by impregnating an impregnated base material made of fiber or the like with a photocurable resin composition, and that the photocurable resin composition can be a material obtained by dissolving a polymerizable resin, such as an unsaturated polyester resin or a vinyl ester resin, in a solvent, such as styrene.
[0003] Compared with the heat curing method, the light curing method has a faster curing rate of the resin composition and a shorter construction time, and therefore the construction distance using the light curing method in repair work on existing pipes has been increasing in recent years. Furthermore, the light curing method has advantages over the heat curing method in that the resin composition has less cure shrinkage, is less likely to have poor curing, generates less heat during curing, and emits less flammable gas during curing.
[0004] In the photocuring method, for example, a gallium lamp, a metal halide lamp, a mercury lamp, etc. are used as a light source. Patent Document 2 also proposes a pipe lining method in which a resin layer is irradiated with light using a photocuring device that uses a light-emitting diode (LED) that mainly emits ultraviolet light. LEDs generate little heat, are energy-saving, and have a long life, making them excellent light sources.

[0065] [Composite Material (E)] The pipe lining material of this embodiment contains a composite material (E) including a resin composition and a fibrous base material (e). The composite material (E) is obtained by impregnating the fibrous base material (e) with the above-mentioned resin composition.
[0066] The shape of the composite material (E) may be a cylinder, a sheet, a tape, etc. From the viewpoint of obtaining a cured product with sufficient strength, the thickness of the composite material (E) is preferably 1.0 to 30.0 mm, more preferably 3.0 to 20.0 mm, and even more preferably 4.0 to 10.0 mm.
[0067] The content of the resin composition in the composite material (E) is preferably 20 to 95% by mass, more preferably 25 to 85% by mass, and even more preferably 25 to 75% by mass. If the content of the resin composition is 20% by mass or more, it is possible to impart appropriate flexibility to the pipe lining material, improving workability during pipe rehabilitation. If the content of the resin composition is 85% by mass or less, it is possible to impart sufficient strength to the cured product of the pipe lining material.
[0068] The content of the fiber base material (e) in the composite material (E) is preferably 5 to 80 mass%, more preferably 15 to 75 mass%, and even more preferably 25 to 75 mass%. When the content of the fiber base material (e) is 5 mass% or more, sufficient strength can be imparted to the cured product of the pipe lining material, and when the content of the fiber base material (e) is 80 mass% or less, appropriate flexibility can be imparted to the pipe lining material.

[0070] (Fiber substrate (e)) From the viewpoint of mechanical strength, etc., examples of fibers constituting the fiber substrate (e) include synthetic fibers such as amide, nylon, aramid, vinylon, polyester, and phenolic resin; reinforcing fibers such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, metal fiber, and ceramic fiber; and composite fibers thereof. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, aramid fiber, carbon fiber, and glass fiber are preferred, and glass fiber is more preferred from the viewpoint of strength, hardness, availability, price, etc. In particular, glass fiber and polyester fiber having optical transparency are preferred from the viewpoint of favorable curing of the resin composition contained in the composite material (E).
[0071] Examples of the form of the fiber substrate (e) include sheets, chopped strands, chopped fibers, milled fibers, etc. Examples of sheets include those formed by aligning multiple reinforcing fibers in one direction, bidirectional woven fabrics such as plain weave and twill weave, multiaxial woven fabrics, non-crimp woven fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, mats, knits, braids, and paper made from reinforcing fibers, etc. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more types, and may be a single layer or a multi-layer laminate.

[0072] [Inner Film] The inner film may be a resin film such as a polyethylene film, a polypropylene film, or a polyethylene terephthalate film. The inner film must be transparent to the light irradiated from the light irradiation device during pipe rehabilitation work. This allows the pipe lining material to be cured efficiently, allowing the pipe rehabilitation to be carried out appropriately. The inner film may be peeled off after the pipe lining material has cured.
[0073] The thickness of the inner film is not particularly limited, but is preferably 50 to 200 μm, more preferably 80 to 170 μm. If the thickness of the inner film is 50 μm or more, the inner film will not be damaged or wrinkled before or during pipe rehabilitation work, and sufficient strength can be imparted to the pipe. If the thickness of the inner film is 200 μm or less, the pipe lining material can be easily manufactured and the workability during pipe rehabilitation work is good.
[0074] [Outer Film] As with the inner film, a resin film can be used as the outer film. The outer film preferably has light-blocking properties. This can prevent external light from accelerating the hardening of the pipe lining material before the pipe rehabilitation work. Furthermore, during the pipe rehabilitation work, the irradiated light can be prevented from passing through the pipe lining material, allowing the pipe lining material to harden efficiently. As an outer film with light-blocking properties, for example, a laminated film having a colored coating layer, such as yellow, between two transparent polyethylene films can be used.
[0075] The thickness of the outer film is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 to 100 μm, more preferably 10 to 90 μm. If the thickness of the outer film is 5 μm or more, the outer film will not be damaged or wrinkled before light irradiation during pipe rehabilitation work, and sufficient strength can be imparted to the pipe. If the thickness of the outer film is 100 μm or less, the production of the pipe lining material is easy, and workability during pipe rehabilitation work is good.
[0076] [Method for manufacturing pipe lining material] A conventionally known method can be used for manufacturing the pipe lining material. When manufacturing the pipe lining material of this embodiment, it is preferable to include the following steps 1 and 2, or the following steps 1 to 3.
[0077] [Step 1] Step 1 is a step of impregnating a fiber substrate (e) with a resin composition to obtain a composite material (E) containing the resin composition. In step 1, the resin composition may be impregnated into a fiber substrate (e) that is not laminated on its surface with an inner film or an outer film, or a fiber substrate (e) having at least one film selected from the group consisting of an inner film and an outer film laminated on its surface may be used. When a fiber substrate (e) having at least one film selected from the group consisting of an inner film and an outer film laminated on its surface is used, the resin composition is impregnated into the fiber substrate (e) via the inner film and the outer film.
[0078] The time for impregnating the fiber base material (e) with the resin composition is preferably 0.5 to 24 hours, more preferably 1 to 10 hours, and even more preferably 1.5 to 5 hours, from the viewpoint of reducing impregnation defects and uniformly impregnating the resin composition. The time from preparation of the resin composition, i.e., from production of the resin composition, to completion of impregnation with the resin composition is preferably 1 to 30 hours, more preferably 2 to 24 hours, and even more preferably 5 to 10 hours.
[0079] [Step 2] Step 2 is a step of laminating an inner film and an outer film onto a fiber substrate (e) or a composite material (E). The lamination method for the inner film and the outer film is not particularly limited, but examples include a method of applying a liquid film composition to the fiber substrate (e) or the composite material (E) and curing it to laminate, a method of laminating a film onto the fiber substrate (e) or the composite material (E) via an adhesive layer, and a method of directly laminating a film onto the fiber substrate (e) or the composite material (E). The inner film and the outer film may be laminated using different methods or the same method. The inner film and the outer film may be laminated independently before impregnating the fiber substrate (e) with the resin composition, or may be laminated onto the composite material (E) containing the resin composition. Furthermore, this step may be performed before or after step 3, which will be described later.
[0080] [Step 3] Step 3 is a step of processing into a cylindrical shape. Note that if a fiber base material (e) that is already cylindrical is used, step 3 does not need to be performed; it is performed when a sheet- or tape-shaped fiber base material (e) is used. Step 3 is a step performed after step 1, in which the composite material (E) is processed into a cylindrical shape by wrapping it around a mandrel having a diameter substantially the same as the diameter of the inner surface of the tube and fastening it with the resin composition contained in the composite material (E). Specifically, if the composite material (E) is in sheet form, after wrapping it around the mandrel, two longitudinal sides are overlapped by about 1 to 10 cm and fastened with the resin composition contained in the composite material (E). Also, if the composite material (E) is in tape form, the composite material (E) is spirally wound while overlapping by about 1 to 10 cm, and the overlapping portions are fastened with the resin composition contained in the composite material (E).
[0081] In step 3, if the composite material (E) containing the resin composition is wound around a mandrel with an inner film already placed on the mandrel, it is not necessary to laminate an inner film on the fiber base material (e) or the composite material (E) containing the resin composition, and this makes it easy to remove the mandrel after winding the composite material (E). Also, from the viewpoint of productivity, it is preferable to laminate an outer film after processing into a cylindrical shape.
[0082] The method for producing a pipe lining material may include a curing step in addition to the above steps 1 to 3. The curing step is a step for appropriately increasing the viscosity of the resin composition until it reaches a viscosity suitable for each step. It is preferably carried out after the resin composition has been impregnated into the fiber base material (e) or before the pipe rehabilitation work. The curing temperature in the curing step is preferably 10 to 40°C, more preferably 15 to 30°C, and even more preferably 20 to 30°C. The curing temperature can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the target viscosity of the resin composition, the curing time, etc.
[0083] From the viewpoint of quality stability, the storage period of the pipe lining material is preferably 1 to 6 months, more preferably 2 to 5 months.
[0084] [Cured product of pipe lining material] The cured product of the pipe lining material of this embodiment can be obtained by irradiating the pipe lining material of this embodiment with light such as ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, etc., to cure the resin composition contained in the composite material (E) contained in the pipe lining material. The cured product of the pipe lining material of this embodiment has good heat resistance and bending properties.
[0085] [Method for Producing Cured Pipe Lining Material] The method for producing the pipe lining material of this embodiment is carried out by irradiating the pipe lining material of this embodiment with light such as ultraviolet light, visible light, or infrared light.

Note that a light-emitting diode (LED) refers to an LED package, which is a light-emitting electronic component in which a light-emitting element is packaged.
[0087] The light irradiation device is not particularly limited as long as it has one or more irradiation units, but may have a lamp assembly configured by connecting a plurality of light irradiation lamps in series. The lamp assembly allows the pipe lining material to be cured efficiently.
[0088] From the viewpoint of good physical properties of the cured product, it is preferable to cure the pipe lining material of this embodiment by irradiating it with light having the absorption wavelength range of the photopolymerization initiator (C) and light having the absorption wavelength range of the dye (D). From the viewpoint of improving the curability of the resin composition and good physical properties of the cured product due to the temperature rise during curing caused by the conversion of light energy to thermal energy due to light absorption by the dye (D), the irradiated light preferably has a peak wavelength in a wavelength range including the maximum absorption wavelength of the dye (D). From the same viewpoint, it is preferable that the irradiated light has a peak wavelength in a wavelength range in which the ratio of the absorbance of the dye (D) to the absorbance of the maximum absorption wavelength in the absorption wavelength range of the dye (D) (hereinafter also referred to as relative absorbance) is 0.3 or more.
[0089] From the viewpoint of good physical properties of the cured product, it is preferable that the irradiated light is light emitted from a metal halide lamp, a gallium lamp, or an LED and contains light in the absorption wavelength region of the photopolymerization initiator (C) and light in the absorption wavelength region of the dye (D); and it is more preferable that the irradiated light is light emitted from a light-emitting diode (LED) and the LED contains light (1) in the absorption wavelength region of the photopolymerization initiator (C) and light (2) in the absorption wavelength region of the dye (D).
[0090] From the viewpoint of promoting the polymerization reaction of the resin composition by the photopolymerization initiator (C), the LED that emits light (1) preferably has a peak wavelength in the wavelength range of 250 to 400 nm. This wavelength range can be appropriately set corresponding to the maximum absorption wavelength of the photopolymerization initiator (C). In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the maximum absorption wavelength of phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide used as the photopolymerization initiator (C) is 366 nm, and an LED having a peak wavelength of 385 nm is used. The LED that emits light (1) may be composed of a single light-emitting element or may have multiple light-emitting elements, and may be mounted on an LED irradiator. The LED that emits light (1) may include a portion of light (1) in the absorption wavelength range of the photopolymerization initiator (C).
[0091] The LED that emits light (2) preferably exhibits maximum emission intensity in a wavelength range corresponding to the maximum absorption wavelength of dye (D), from the viewpoint of improving the curability of the resin composition and achieving good physical properties of the cured product due to the temperature rise during curing caused by the conversion of light energy to thermal energy due to light absorption by dye (D). From the same viewpoint, the LED that emits light (2) preferably has a peak wavelength in a wavelength range of 400 to 1100 nm where the ratio of the absorbance of dye (D) to the absorbance at the maximum absorption wavelength of dye (D) is 0.3 or more. The LED that emits light (2) may be composed of a single light-emitting element or may have multiple light-emitting elements, and may be mounted on an LED irradiator. The LED that emits light (2) may contain a portion of light (2) in the absorption wavelength range of dye (D). The LED may be packaged such that the light-emitting element that emits light (1) and the light-emitting element that emits light (2) are packaged in a single LED, or may be packaged in different LEDs.
[0092] When the light source of the light irradiation device is a metal halide lamp, the emission spectrum varies depending on the type and amount of metal halide in the lamp, so the optimum conditions vary depending on the type of metal halide lamp used, maximum power consumption, etc.
[0093] When the light source of the light irradiation device is a metal halide lamp, the irradiance of the light irradiated onto the pipe lining material is not particularly limited and is set appropriately depending on the shape and thickness of the pipe lining material, the equipment environment of the apparatus for producing the cured product, etc. However, from the viewpoint of improving the curability of the resin composition and obtaining good physical properties of the cured product, it is preferably 1.0 mW / cm 2 More preferably, 10.0 mW / cm 2 More preferably, 30.0 mW / cm 2 More preferably, 50.0 mW / cm 2 From the viewpoint of the heat resistance and energy efficiency of the light emitting device, it is preferably 1000 mW / cm 2 or less, more preferably 500 mW / cm 2 More preferably, 300 mW / cm or less 2 The following is the result.
[0094] When the light source of the light irradiation device is a metal halide lamp, the cumulative light amount of the light irradiated onto the pipe lining material is not particularly limited and is set appropriately depending on the shape and thickness of the pipe lining material, the equipment environment of the manufacturing device for the cured product, etc., but from the viewpoint of sufficient curing of the pipe lining material, it is preferably 0.1 J / cm 2 More preferably, 1.0 J / cm 2 More preferably, 5.0 J / cm 2 More preferably, 80 J / cm 2 or more, and preferably 5000 J / cm 2 or less, more preferably 2000 J / cm 2 More preferably, 1000 J / cm or less 2 More preferably, 300 J / cm or less 2 Below are the results.

[0116]
[0117] Example 1 (Production of Resin Composition) 100 parts by mass of a mixture (mass ratio 54.95 / 45.05) of unsaturated polyester resin (a1) dissolved in styrene, an ethylenically unsaturated group-containing monomer (B), was added with 0.11 parts by mass of phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (BAPO) and 0.11 parts by mass of 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DMPA) as photopolymerization initiators (C), and the mixture was stirred and mixed for 10 minutes at 2000 to 3000 rpm using a high-speed disperser ("Homodisper 2.5 Type," manufactured by Primix Corporation). 0.050 parts by mass of Karenz® IRT (manufactured by Resonac Corporation) was then added and stirred and mixed for 1 minute to produce a resin composition.
[0118] (Production of Pipe Lining Material) A pipe lining material was produced using the obtained resin composition as follows. A polyethylene film (manufactured by Ise Kasei Kogyo Co., Ltd.) having a length of 1400 mm and a thickness of 100 μm was wrapped around an aluminum plate having a width of 220 mm, a length of 1000 mm, and a thickness of 4 mm, with the end curved at R2, as an inner film, and the wrapped portion was heat-sealed using Vinylaid (manufactured by Hakko Corporation). Next, an 800 mm long glass fiber chopped strand mat (450 g / m) as a fiber substrate was placed on top of the inner film. 2A fiber substrate (design thickness 3.0 mm: 4 plies, glass content 40% by mass) containing the resin composition was wrapped around the fiber substrate, and simultaneously a defoaming roller was used to impregnate the fiber substrate with the resin composition. The amount of resin composition contained in the fiber substrate was 60% by mass. Furthermore, a polyethylene film 1400 mm long x 100 μm thick was covered on top of the fiber substrate containing the resin composition as an outer film, and the lapped portion was fixed with 50 mm wide masking tape (3M Japan Co., Ltd.). Next, the aluminum plate was pulled out and aged at 25°C for 2 days to obtain a pipe lining material.
[0119] (Production of Cured Resin Composition) A cured pipe lining material refers to a product in which the resin composition in the pipe lining material has cured, and the physical properties of the cured resin composition serve as an indicator of the physical properties of the cured pipe lining material. Therefore, a cured resin composition was produced, and the physical properties of the cured product were evaluated. A cured resin composition was produced using the obtained resin composition as follows. A mold was prepared using two glass plates (300 mm long x 300 mm wide x 5 mm thick) with a U-shaped NBR rubber spacer (10 mm wide, 4 mm thick) sandwiched along three sides of the plate surfaces and secured with clips. The resin composition was poured into the gap between the two glass plates of the prepared mold (inside the mold), and irradiated from one side of the glass plate surfaces using a metal halide lamp ("SHL-250", manufactured by Shonan Kosakusho Co., Ltd.). After 30 minutes of irradiation, the mold was left to stand at room temperature (23° C.) for 12 hours for curing, and then removed from the mold to obtain a cured resin composition.
[0120] The irradiance was adjusted by placing a separately prepared glass plate at the position where the mold was to be placed, and adjusting the position and output of the light-emitting device based on the irradiance value measured by directing the transmitted light of the irradiated light through the glass plate onto a light receiver of a spectroradiometer (USR-45VA, manufactured by Ushio Inc.).
[0121] [Examples 2 to 16, Comparative Examples 1 to 7] Cured resin compositions were produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the raw materials were blended in the compositions shown in Tables 3 to 8 and the resin compositions were cured using the light sources shown in Tables 3 to 8.
[0122] [Examples 17 to 30, Comparative Examples 8 to 16] (Production of resin compositions and production of pipe lining materials) Resin compositions and pipe lining materials were produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the raw materials were blended in the compositions shown in Tables 9 to 12.
[0123] (Production of cured resin composition) A mold was prepared using two glass plates (300 mm long x 300 mm wide x 5 mm thick) with a U-shaped NBR rubber spacer (10 mm wide, 4 mm thick) sandwiched along three sides of the plate surfaces and secured with clips. The resin composition was poured into the gap (inside the mold) between the two glass plates of the prepared mold, and LED light was irradiated onto the mold from the outside of the glass plate surfaces. The LED (LED (1)) emitting light (1) and the LED (LED (2)) each had the peak wavelengths shown in Tables 9 to 12. LED (1) and LED (2) were irradiated from opposite sides of the glass plates of the mold, and when irradiating both, they were irradiated simultaneously. After 30 minutes of irradiation, the mold was left to cure at room temperature (23°C) for 12 hours, and then removed from the mold to obtain a cured resin composition.
[0124] The irradiance was adjusted by placing a separately prepared glass plate at the position where the mold was to be placed, and adjusting the position and output of the LED irradiator based on the irradiance value measured by directing the transmitted light of the LED light through the glass plate onto the light receiver of a spectroradiometer (USR-45VA, manufactured by Ushio Inc.).
[0125] Examples 31 to 33 (Production of Resin Compositions) Resin compositions were produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the raw materials were blended in the compositions shown in Tables 13 and 14.
[0126] (Production of Pipe Lining Material) Using the obtained resin composition, a pipe lining material was produced as follows. A PET film (290 mm long x 290 mm wide x 125 μm thick) was laid on a glass plate (300 mm long x 300 mm wide x 5 mm thick), and a square-shaped NBR rubber spacer (10 mm wide x 4 mm thick) was placed along all four edges of the glass plate. A fiber substrate (e) shown in Tables 13 and 14, measuring 250 mm long x 250 mm wide, was placed inside the spacer, and the resin composition was impregnated using a defoaming roller. The above procedure was repeated so that there were seven layers of fiber substrate (e) in Example 31, eight layers of fiber substrate (e) in Example 32, and five layers of fiber substrate (e) in Example 33. After the operation was completed, a PET film (length 290 mm × width 290 mm × thickness 125 μm) was laid on the fiber substrate (e) impregnated with the resin composition, and a glass plate (length 300 mm × width 300 mm × thickness 5 mm) was placed on top of that, and then cured for 24 hours to obtain a pipe lining material.
[0127] (Production of Cured Pipe Lining Material) The obtained pipe lining material was irradiated from the outside of the glass plate surface using a metal halide lamp ("SHL-250", manufactured by Shonan Kosakusho Co., Ltd.) in Example 31, and LED light from one side in Examples 32 and 33. An LED emitting light (1) (LED (1)) and an LED emitting light (2) (LED (2) having the peak wavelengths shown in Table 14 were used. LED (1) and LED (2)) were irradiated simultaneously. The irradiance was adjusted by placing a separately prepared glass plate at the position where the mold was to be placed, and adjusting the position and output of the light-emitting device based on the irradiance value measured by directing the irradiated light transmitted through the glass plate to the light receiver of a spectroradiometer ("USR-45VA", manufactured by Ushio Inc.). After 30 minutes of irradiation, the material was left to stand at room temperature (23°C) for 12 hours to cure, and the glass plate and PET film were removed to obtain a cured pipe lining material.
